Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Plays a role in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome. Involved in the processes that regulate centrosome-mediated interkinetic nuclear migration (INM) of neural progenitors and for proper positioning of neurons during brain development. Also implicated in the migration and selfrenewal of neural progenitors. May play a role in centriole duplication during mitosis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000250}. Note=Regulates the localization of TACC3 to the centrosome in neural progenitors in vivo. {ECO:0000250}.
